Hi William,
I don’t know the answer to that question, but why don’t you follow the link to the Stadium thread at Skyscrapercity.com? http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=732846&page=20
There is one particularly guy (Mo.Rush) who seems to have all the info at his fingertips…

I would like to get more information on the stadium screens that are being installed. What is being used and who is building them etc. Can anyone help?

Thanks for that video link Mo Rush, it's great! I attended the stadium tour and presentation with a friend of mine, Grant. He is much more adept with a camera than I am and took some great shots. Below are some examples to see more of the stadium and his other work, visit his Flickr page

Great Post,

I was not aware that one can go for tours. I must definately go and make a booking for one. Could be very educational.

Thanks.

Thank Greg, there are some great pics and diagrams at those links, both of the stadium and the surrounds.

Reto, you’re right, it is a smooth design and apparently the lighting will be soft which will make it look even more attractive.
